Abstrak

The development of cities in Indonesia is inseparable from identity and characteristics. Kevin Lynch's theory regarding the five elements of the city can be a reference in making the identity or characteristics of a city. This is because each city or region has a characteristic that is different from one city to another. Marisa City is the capital of Pohuwato Regency which also has its own characteristics. Consequently, it is important to identify the five elements of the city according to Kevin Lynch's Theory on Marisa City. This can be the image of Marisa City or the face of Marisa City so that a person or group of people from other regions can recognize Marisa City through the five elements that make up the city according to Kevin Lynch's theory. The purpose of this research is to identify the image-forming elements of Marisa City according to Kevin Lynch's Theory.
